Questions
How many pairs of shoes does BISSA hold?
IKEA says about 8 pairs. The shelves can be moved or taken out to suit your shoes.
Do I have to fix BISSA to the wall?
Yes. IKEA says it must be fixed to the wall: two screws go through the top back rail. The screws, plugs and washers in the box suit most solid and hollow walls; in solid wood use the screws without plugs, and if you are not sure, ask a professional.
Which board goes where in a compartment?
The widest board slides in first, between the plastic sides’ upper hooks; the narrowest goes along the foot of the front; the third is the shelf, which goes in last, at the height your shoes need.
A compartment does not sit right. What do I do?
Check that the slot at the foot of each of its plastic sides is pushed right over its pivot’s peg, not resting on top of it, as page 16 of the manual shows.
Safety
From the manual: furniture can tip over and cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Always fix BISSA to the wall, keep heavy things in the lower compartment, and never let children climb on it or hang on its compartments.
About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-2324659-5 (2026-04-21). The outer size, 49 × 28 × 93 cm, is IKEA's published size. The cabinet’s size is IKEA’s; the panels’ thickness, the rails, the compartments’ size and their plastic sides’ shape, and where the pivots are, are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
IKEA says it holds about 8 pairs of shoes.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and BISSA are named only to say which product this guide is for.
